First day of daylight savings and it’s been wonderful! We had lunch at a new sushi place and then went to a new bookshop. Sunshine and nice weather! Photo of skink on brick fence is from a couple of days ago

I saw a comment from someone about wanting to travel to Japan and Mexico (both excellent choices) with the clear implication that other countries would not be visited. So I’m going to post some pics from Australia. These photos are from a trip to Royal National Park at the southern end of Sydney.

Zoe Reynolds from Spooks/MI-5 (different name for tv show, depending where you live). She left still believing in the mission, and when they need a surprise cameo at the very end from someone who had to believe in the mission… she would have been perfect, and way better than the character they chose

Barney likes to eat paper and cardboard. All important documents need to be in hard plastic folders. Tissue boxes need to be kept up high.

I know you said no cheating, but the most recent was really a photo of fog. This one actually shows the sky!

I just found out about #BlueSkyArtShow, and I’m overjoyed that photos are allowed. This is a limestone cliff face at the south end of Pearl Beach, New South Wales, Australia.

Limestone cliff showing erosion, lower section has eroded in big sections, baseball to bigger than basketball sized holes, upper section has eroded in small sections, golf ball to baseball sized holes, topped by trees and shrubs in front of a cloudless blue sky. No pun intended!

Going home from hearing the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, they played Ives’s The Unanswered Question, Westlake’s Percussion Concerto with solist Rebecca Lagos and Holst’s The Planets (with an accompanying film titled Loss, starring Emma Thompson. Yes, the Emma Thompson!). Fabulous all round!

This is Poppet, who has apparently fallen asleep mid-headbutt!

This is Barney pretending to be a Celtic knot.

Barney, a korat (grey cat breed from Thailand), with his tail looped around to his upper body, left arm on the tail, right arm stretched away from his body, face buried in his left arm. He’s sitting on a grey dressing gown.

The darker cat is Jacko (RIP) and the lighter cat is Poppet. Note how Poppet is curled up and self contained, but Jacko is sprawled and open. That’s both of their personalities in a nutshell!

From my walk to work this morning. It turns out that we *are* living in the matrix!

Small zip lock bag with one red pill and one blue pill. Do I need more letters before this posts? Apparently, yes.

Wow, I certainly wasn’t expecting anyone to share that post! So, veering a long way from the point of the original post, here’s some recent purchases that I’ve been enjoying (Bluesky really doesn’t like this pic!):

Secret Agent 75 @somethingwickedtwd.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

& this is Jacko. Jacko was a rescue, so we don’t know his parentage, although he seemed to have traces of Russian Blue. We had to put him down in July. Jacko enjoyed jazz funk, being picked up, and having someone lie down next to him. In this photo, he is about to struggle while we give him meds

When did you break into our house, move our bookcases around, and take photos of our cat?

Poppet (our cat, not Mike’s cat!) with her latest treasure, a Christmas card attached to a ribbon. Truth be told, Poppet doesn’t give a flying fudge about the card!

There’s more to #australian beaches than just #Bondi. On last Wednesday (yes, a bit late!) my other half and I visited Putty beach again, but that time, we also walked through Bouddi National Park to Bullimah Beach. Photos from Bouddi and Bullimah.

There’s more to #australian beaches than just #Bondi. On Tuesday, my other half and I visited Killcare and Putty beaches (same stretch of sand. Killcare has a lunch spot, Putty has a campground). Further explanation in Alt text

Killcare beach, rocks forming a protected area so kids can get in the water with basically no waves.

Excerpt from And the Roots of Rhythm Remain, by Joe Boyd, published in 2024 but curiously up to the minute.

Text reads:

Cuba’s tortured relationship with its northern neighbour goes back a long way. America developed a taste for Hispanic land-grabs after buying the Florida peninsula from Spain in 1821. A quarter-century later, when newly independent Mexico refused to sell its Northern provinces (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the southern half of California), President Polk sent in the troops. America would have gladly added Cuba to its booty but the Spanish garrison there was larger than the entire US Army. An envoy arrived in Madrid with an offer of $100 million for the island but the man’s behaviour was so boorish that the Spaniards refused to consider it.

Yoohoo, Mr. Trump! (Frantic hand waving) You love oil, right? And you hate all that climate change stuff? Do you know who invaded another country to get the minerals so they could do wishy washy renewable energy? I know another dictator who you could take care of…

Zelenskyy with the Ukrainian flag behind him. Quote is, “if this how dictators can be treated, then the US knows what to do.”

“Get Kmart tofu cat litter” said the only reputable cat breeder in Sydney, “it cuts down on smell and it doesn’t stick so easily to cat feet”. Of course, this only applies if any of the local Kmarts actually have any!

And here they are again. Presumably Poppet doesn’t mind the smell of feet!

On the right is Jacko (Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jumping Jack Flash, Jack in the box, Hungry Jack). On the left is Poppet. Poppet is exactly as you’d expect if you know your British confectionery: she’s a little sweetie! (A bit more detail in the Alt Text)

On the right, closer to camera, a probably part (if not full) Russian Blue ex stray rescue cat stares straight at the camera. This is Jacko (Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jumping Jack Flash, Jack in the box, Hungry Jack).

On the left, looking at Jacko’s ear is Poppet, an ex breeding queen Burmese Blue. Poppet is exactly as you’d expect if you know your British confectionery: she’s a little sweetie!

I saw this on a wall today and I thought initially of anyone following #usa #politics, but I realised that with perhaps a bit less urgency, anyone following #auspol or #ukpol might feel the same way!

A somewhat scratched poster featuring a woman wearing a catsuit and holding a rifle/harpoon/long-thing-gun, behind her on one side is an explosion, slightly behind her on the other side is a gorilla, and the caption above proclaims (in three different fonts) Hey, Let’s Overthrow The Government

I meant to share this last night. Last night’s dinner is red onions in red wine on steak, from my latest cookbook purchase, Moro Easy. Definitely doing this again!

This is Jacko, a rescue cat who we adopted almost ten years ago. He came to us, afraid of almost everything, and left today on my partner’s lap. He had the most enthusiastic chirrupy purrs but sadly, he also had kidney disease. All three of us (including Poppet, our other cat) miss him terribly.
